Title: Katrina Hutchison (Macquarie)
Knowledge, professional skills and epistemic injustice: reflections on the
case of surgery Dr Katrina Hutchison (Macquarie) Theories of
epistemic injustice have potential to illuminate a variety of real-world
situations where harm results from misjudging the credibility of a knower.
One such context is the workplace. In this talk I explore the relevance of
epistemic injustice to women surgeons’ experiences of work, drawing on data
from an empirical interview study. I argue that epistemic injustice
understood narrowly (as Miranda Fricker has described it, focusing on
testimonial and hermeneutical injustice) is only applicable to a fraction
of the wrongs experienced by women surgeons in their capacity as knowers.
In surgery, credibility tracks the skilled performance of the worker:
arguably the knowledge that matters most to patients (and employers such as
hospitals) is not the surgeon’s propositional knowledge, but their ability
to enact knowledge of disease and anatomy through the successful hands-on
performance of an operation. Successful performance of surgery moreover
requires successful interactions with skilled colleagues (e.g.
anaesthetists, nurses and technicians), while successful care of patients
requires interpersonal and communication skills. The practice of surgery,
then, defies simple analysis in terms of knowledge and credibility. I use
the case to illuminate both strengths and limitations of the theoretical
lens of epistemic injustice in applied contexts.---------------Hi there,
